Mambo Happy Feet

Saturday, November 25, 2006

Little did I know watching a movie of penguins last night would thought me so many things in life! I thought it was just penguin-singing and this little tap dancer would have somehow attracted a female penguin though he tap dances. But it turned out to be so much more meaningful than that! That Mambo boy bought across the message of daring to be different and of all the things you do, having faith in yourself, is the top-most of your list of "most precious gifts in life". Having inspired by a little penguin (yes, I know but I get insprired at the weirdest things on earth), I wanted to know more about Antarctica ( always have been very intrigued by all these places; Artic, Antarctica, Galapagos, papua new guiney...) and their extremely hard-core way of living. And WOW. That's all I can say.





These are the Emperor penguins, featured in the movie. Stately and elegant (hence, the name), they are the tallest penguins around! 1.15m! That's more than half of me! nearly three quarters! Oh oh, that's the little kid! Chubby eh? I feel like pinching it! They can walk up to 280 km with their non-existent knees while we are... Us humans are urgh *shameful* ...















Ah! The march of the penguins! Look at that! They are heading south towards their breeding ground! Coldest of all times when all the other penguins head north! After mating, they brave the temperature of -20 to -50 degrees and the wind of 200 kmph! And that's the male penguins too you know, not the females. Females get to go into the sea to catch fishes while the males kept the babies between their legs and not eat for 3 months! hehehehehe sounds good eh? Male humans should take a leaf out of the penguin books. heheheheheheh











Awwww.... that little penguin trying to keep warm between papa's feet....










And there they are! The males waiting loyally for the return of the females (get the hint? hehehe) witht their offsprings... and these penguins can swim damn fast! Outswim the seals all the time unless that they are sick and weak.









I want to go Antarctica! I want to work with saving animals!!!
